I have to agree. I rarely post any longer, but do read a number of the posts. The constant bickering, rehashing the "domestic vs. import" argument and constant Pablo references to bodily functions and excrement get old real fast. It's a decidedly different place than it was 2-3 years ago. Top...

About 3 years ago we searched mattresses extensively when we decided it was time to get rid of our current bed. I spent about a month trying to decide which one would be the best for both of us, since it all boils down to comfort and a good nights sleep. I couldn't find a mattress that both my...

The most intelligent rebuttal to the post you can come up with involves an insult to a member and boogers? It should be pretty clear with whom the sophomore mentality resides. Your comments were clearly meant as an insult and entirely unwarranted.

Congratulations cousincletus. You've shown the highest amount of ignorance of this entire thread with this comment.

Nothing we haven't seen before and nothing to get excited about. Elwin Taylor, a local ag meteorologist said a couple weeks ago that El Nino was beginning to break up and predicted that we'd be back to normal winter temperatures and conditions by mid-January. Looks like he was right. Looks...

I tried 15W40 in my 1992 300ZX and wasn't happy with the performance. I could tell a difference-it didn't have the pep that it does with Amsoil 5W30 (which I now use). Although I have an NA, Amsoil should have no problems protecting the turbos. I also agree with Volvohead that Redline would be...

GM has a long way to go before they regain the trust of the American consumer. Despite a few recent reviews, Toyota is set to overtake them in worldwide sales either this year or next, unseating GM from a throne it's held for many years.

The oil really doesn't care. It's not like it will break down under normal temperatures-if it did then a few weeks inside the engine would destroy it. I keep mine in the shop-it sees lows in the sub-zero range to the 70's in the winter, and highs in the 70's to low 100's in the summer.

Rather than make statements it would be nice if he were able to provide links to documents that back up what he says. Perhaps some tests that back up his assertions.

It appears there is some question on the durability of them. Epinions Roper is owned by Whirlpool if I remember correctly, but they are the budget level brand. Reading the reviews it looks like the efficiency isn't all that great either. If it were my money I'd spend a little more and get a...

No different than someone who works in a downtown location and has to find their own parking spot-garage, lot or otherwise. Your employer has no obligation to provide you with a parking spot unless there is city code or a contractual agreement forcing them to.

In both of my Jeeps (a 1996 and a 2000) they almost always showed high iron numbers-although within acceptable ranges for that engine. The only exception to that was when I ran Castrol HM dino in the 1996 Cherokee-the iron was extremely low. In my Cherokee I have switched to Castrol HM 10W40...

We have a corner whirlpool tub in the master bath and really enjoy it. It's a great way to relax. Just don't make the mistake of letting anyone put bubble bath in it.

The new battery can be faulty. I purchased a Dodge pickup new in 1994, within a week the battery wouldn't hold a charge. The dealership replaced it and it was fine after that.

As good as any other 20 year old car that's worth 300 dollars.
